“After looking at a few photographers we felt that Stanbury Photography where a cut above the rest… and we where right”

West Tower Wedding Photography

Ben & Amy’s Wedding at West Tower

West Tower, with its amazing views over the countryside on the outskirts of Liverpool, is one of those ‘in demand’ wedding venues and it was its exclusive use that made Ben & Amy fall in love with it.

We have photographed many West Tower weddings over the years, its like a second home to us and we love it and also such a special place and great venue to photograph weddings.

So how does a boy from Essex meet a girl from Lancashire…. in Ibiza of course and after many journeys up & down the M6 Amy decided that the south was for her but it had to be up north for the wedding 😉

The weather was perfect all day and as the laughter & champagne flowed we grabbed a few photos with the Ben, Amy and their wedding party before the speeches all just in time for the most beautiful Golden Hour to make us very happy wedding photographers 🙂

No sooner had the sun set than the evening party started with Ben & Amy’s first dance followed by an emotional dance with Amy & her Dad then the dance floor filled and never emptied. A Perfect end to a perfect day.

Here is a few of our favourite images from Ben & Amy’s West Tower Wedding. Enjoy. D&Jxx

Essex Wedding Photography

Andrew & Natasha’s Outdoor Wedding at Theobalds Estate

People always ask how do new couples find us and the not so secret secret is “word of mouth recommendations” and thats how Andrew & Natasha found us…. well with recommendations from 2 people who actually work in the photography industry to be precise so no pressure then!!!

We have photographed many weddings in Essex but this was our first visit to Theobalds Estate and what a stunning Essex Wedding Venue it is and has quite a bit of history to go with it.

Andrew & Natasha decided to go for an outdoor ceremony, now with the UK weather this is quite a risk but with everything going so perfect it was always going to be the prefect weather for their big day 🙂

As Documentary Wedding Photographers we love to capture the stories and memories that always go with weddings and this day had so many memories with Andrew & Natasha’s 2 children walking up the aisle to one of the craziest parties to end the day with the dance floor full all evening.

It was such a pleasure to spend a few days with Andrew, Natasha and their guests as their wedding was so special and such fun to be a part of. We are so glad that their friends in the photography industry recommended us as their Essex Wedding Photographers as WE now have so many great memories from an amazing day.

Here is a few of our favourite memories from a great day. Enjoy. D&Jxx

Theobald Estate Essex Wedding Photography

How stunning does this outdoor ceremony look, a brave choice given the typical UK weather but the day stayed dry and Theobalds Estate looked so beautiful.
Love the dramatic composition of this portrait of Natasha, the gorgeous light from the window and the staircase leading the eye to the Bride and the pillars framing the image make this just a stunning Bridal Portrait
How Cute!!! of of our favourite images from the whole day xx

After thousands of clicks of our cameras over 365 days it all comes down to an end of year 100 from 2 photographers.

Being wedding photographers and also being married with a family means that the days fly by and a whole year can disappear in a blink, in fact 24 years have flown by and we now enter our 25th year in business, 25 years of capturing and presenting memories.

We still feel extremely lucky to do what we do and LOVE what we do, we still get that tingle of excitement when we arrive at a wedding, when we see all the fun & hear the laughter and dare i say we still get a tear in our eyes at those special moments, yep we are extremely lucky.

As we enter a new year and with all the excitement to come we do love to look back at the memories that WE have from 2017 and this is exactly what this blog post is all about, not the technically perfect award winning signature images that we are known for but those moments between the moments that bring back amazing memories & stories that WE have from just the most epic 2017.

So this is our 100 images,Images that made us smile, images that put a little bit of dust in our eye 😉 , images of our travels and new friends we have made, images that just made 2017 one of the best ever.

A year that saw us travel to all parts of the UK & Europe not only as photographers but as photography judges and trainers and photography consultants for some of the biggest names in our industry. From venues 5 mins from where we live to Castles in Scotland and ceremonies on the side of a mountain in the French Alps our wedding photography journey never fails to deliver new experiences.

The high points have been all the new friends we have made along the way who will be friends forever and the new photographers that we have had the pleasure to meet just starting out at our workshops and I have to admit when i meet new photographers we always say the same thing….

Welcome to the best job in the world, WOW are you going to have fun!!!

A huge thank you to all our amazing couples who we had the honour of photographing during 2017, you guys all made it such a special year for us, you made us laugh, you made us cry, you made us feel so welcome and we will never forget that. To our friends in this fantastic industry (you all know who you are) thank you again for your continued support you really make it just a joy to do what we do and to our couples who 2018 is going to be THEIR YEAR then get ready…. its going to be AMAZING !!!!!

One of the joys of documenting weddings with our photography is that you get to meet and make new friends along the way and it was great to meet up again with Katys family.

Now their wedding theme was ‘a black tie dinner with the party to end all parties in the evening’ and boy did this wedding live up to the theme.

Great speeches and dancing on tables was just the pre lude to a pre rehearsed first dance and then BOOM!!!! the dancefloor filled and never emptied

As a storytelling wedding photographer when you have such crazy family & friends who just love to let themselves go and have a good time it certainly makes your job easier… I say Job, Katy & Philips wedding was just a joy to photograph, they are such fun loving people with great family and dare i say…. crazy friends. What a day!!!!

Heres a few of our favourite wedding photographs from their Kilhey Court Wedding, hope you like them as much as we do. D&J xx

Combermere Abbey Wedding Photography

Brett & Natasha’s colourful wedding at Combermere Abbey

Combermere Abbey in beautiful Whitchurch, Shropshire has just so many photo locations, its a wedding photographers dream location and we are so glad that Brett & Natasha Chose us to be their Combermere Abbey Wedding Photographers.

Brett & Natasha are the most organised couple you could meet, they booked Combermere Abbey 2 years before their wedding then the week after booked us, well as stated they “didnt want to miss out”

They wanted the whole day to be a relaxed, family/party feel to the day where everybody could just laugh and have fun…. well when Natasha struggled to say her vows due to a fit of the giggles, fun was the theme for the day.

In the perfectly maintained gardens and with the most warmest of summers days guests laughed, drank champagne, played a competitive game of rounders and then had races on Space hoppers….. as you do 🙂

There are so many amazing photography locations at Combermere Abbey and with Brett in his designer suit and Natasha in her stunning blush pink Nicole Spouse Dress and with the lake as a backdrop where just a joy to photograph (we really do have the best job in the world)

Party time followed the speeches and with music from The Rush the dance floor filled, crazy dance moves started and the celebrations went on late into the evening.

Here is just a few of our favourite photos from Brett & Natasha’s Combermere Abbey Wedding Photography, we hope you love them as much as we do. D&Jxx

When we met David & Jane we knew we would feel comfortable with them on our wedding day. They completely understood everything we asked for, they never made us feel like we were asking too much and always had a smile on their face.

Eaves Hall Wedding Photography

Mat & Rebecca’s summer wedding at Eaves Hall

WOW so we did have a summer and the sun really did shine at Eaves Hall the stunning exclusive wedding venue near Clitheroe

Eaves Hall is just beautiful and with its views of the Pendle Hill and the surrounding Trough of Bowland you can see why Eaves Hall is very much in demand for weddings

Mathew & Rebecca are just such fun to be around and this gorgeous couple are a joy to photograph as you can see in their amazing wedding photographs

Their wedding was filled with their personality, they made the stationary, the table plan…. even the top table!!! (yes they made the top table) as 1 of 9 tables to mark each year they had been together.

As Documentary Wedding Photographers we love to tell the story, show the colours and capture those little details that you can miss, like when Rebecca opened her wedding gift of a watch from Mat and the detail in Rebecca’s stunning wedding dress to the best mans entrance on Mat’s Grandads mobility scooter that had everybody in stitches.

Mat & Rebecca booked us nearly two years before their wedding and over that time we became friends and thought that nothing could surprise us about them until we asked about their honeymoon……
Well they only went and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro!!! (as you do) and then relaxed in beautiful Zanzibar.

Rebecca’s favourite part of the day was when she became Mrs Baines and dancing and chatting with everyone. And that all important tip…. Just relax everyone will have a good day, don’t sweat about the small things and spend as much time as you can together.

The beautiful colours, the laughter and just the range of emotions during the day made this a wedding we will not forget.

Mat & Rebecca, you guys are amazing and we loved being your Eaves Hall wedding photographers, thanks for allowing us to be part of your day and here is a small selection of our favourite photos, enjoy. D&Jxx

Lake District Wedding Photography

Rachel & Nathan’s Wedding at The Grange Hotel

Photographing a wedding in the beautiful Lake District is always special, the scenery and venues are just fantastic.

The Grange Hotel with its views over the Bay and the south lakes is such a wonderful location for a wedding and its close by to the bay for us to grab some amazing photographs in the evening.

Rachel & Nathan are just the most chilled out couple… EVER but boy this wedding was just crazy but crazy in a good way. We just had such a laugh.

The ceremony took place at a church in the Village of Grange, again with amazing views

The weather was gorgeous and as the guests chatted with each other whilst enjoying champagne & nibbles we grabbed those all important photos with the new Mr & Mrs Crane around the grounds.

The speeches where a rollercoaster of emotions with tears and laughter being interrupted by singing waiters ending in a crazy conga (i think every wedding needs a good conga:) )

A few photos on the station as the sun set & it was time to party and boy do these guys know how to party.

Our goal as wedding photographers is to create documentary photographs as unobtrusively as possible and also truly amazing photographs of the couple and we are so glad that Nathan & Rachel chose us as their Lake district wedding photographers.

Here are a selection of our fave images, we hope you love the too…. D&Jxx
